Catalog on the way, Ghostrider.

Thank you for the kind words, sir. I don't get by this forum very often but always look for your posts when I do.

850 kg/cm2 proof was commonly used for entry level Basque 12/70 guns of the 50's through the early 70's. Better grades carried 900 or 1000 kg/cm2 proof with some 12/70 pigeon guns 1200 kg/cm2.
Service pressure for 900 kg/cm2 would be about 9500 psi
IF the barrel is 18.3 = .720" and the L barrel at 17.1 = .673" that is serious choke!
I can't read the barrel weight but it's likely a game rather than Pigeon gun.

That is a tight choked left barrel. I will measure the chokes and the bore tomorrow.

Sorry for the poor pictures of the engraving.

The Jabalí (wild boar) models were offered as a utility grade boxlock, nicely engraved boxlocks, and highly engraved sidelocks
Kyrie probably knows the date of this catalog



One with the original 1973 proof certificate

History of Zamacola
https://armia-eibar.eus/es/colecciones/piezas/maquina-perforadora-de-canones
https://armia-eibar.eus/es/colecciones/piezas/zamacola
From its origins it was oriented towards the industrial manufacture of shotgun barrels, an activity in which the forging and drilling of the barrels was essential. Felipe Zamacola Aguirre (1860-1913) was the one who bought the land where the house-workshop currently stands. Later, his son, Pablo Zamacola Uriarte (1882-1936) founded the firm Pablo Zamacola e Hijos, which included his five children: Juan, Silvestre, Pablo, Francisco and Cándido. After Pablo Zamacola and his son Cándido died during the civil war, his other brothers remained in the gun industry as shotgun manufacturers, with the company name Zamacola Hermanos, which marketed their production under the JABALÍ brand. This brand was acquired from a firm in Barcelona, ​​with the German patent E. Schilling y C.ª After an attempt to remain in the market, thanks to the offer of manufacturing a semi-automatic shotgun model, the firm closed its workshop in 1982, coinciding with the crisis of the gun industry.

Very nice and mine has a thin wrist and it a joy to shoot

Took it out today and shot some trap, despite it being stocked a little high for my liking ( Im a bird hunter at heart) it was pleasure to shoot.
Thanks to one of the member that forwarded me some information I am posting a few pictures from a catalog.
Definitely a model 111 and one of the top guns they produced.
